Data collected include uraniam exploration, reserves, production, processing, and marketing. The data are used for analyses and publications. Respondents include firms and individuals that comprise the U.S. uranium industry.
The burden increase was due to both an adjustment and a program change. The adjustment was due to an increase in respondents and the program change was due to adding additional elements to the survey form.
